The Lonely Corner and Me

How I feel

The Lonely Corner and Me

Some days I feel oh so lonely in a crowded room.

Surround by people, yet all I feel is gloom.

I often wonder, where I fit in.

When there is no logical place for me to jump in.

It is as if I am but a spectator,

an unseen being off in the corner.

And well I learn many secrets, in this corner of mine.

It only reminds me of how lonely I am.

For I do not always know such things in confidence,

But am seen as either insignificant or too trusting.

Though neither is a terrible fate.

It does make me wonder of my mistake?

How do I come to be alone among friendly faces?

When all I wish is to be apart of some beautiful thing.

And yet the comfort others feel with me

Only serves to remind me that I am not a part of some eternal bond.

I am but one fish in such a vast sea.

About the Creator

Lane Burns

I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I’m still just finding my voice and coming to believe that I can do this again. I like writing poetry and darker fiction. As well as some fan fictions!
